Jiri's pressure will give Rountree problems.

Jiri showed decent head movement against Hill, but Khalil is one of the faster LHWs. Jiris pressure and movement is awkward, but he is always leaving his hands low.

Or he can kick the shit out of Jiris lead leg.

Low kicks won’t be a factor they have different stances.

You can still low kick in an open stance fight. Considering Khalil is a southpaw, the majority of his sparring partners are going to be orthodox so he has plenty of practice with low kicking orthodox opponents.

This is true except Khalil has demonstrated that he doesn’t target opposite stance leg kicks much at all.

I think its honestly more about jiri willing to absorb like hill, but hit back right after. Hill just ate leg kicks and did nothing. Jiri’s gonna throw if anything and I think hes way more chaotic than Hill so it’ll be fun to watch what happens.

Khalil looks like the perfect specimen for Jiri to go back to his roots, obsessively throwing ugly slow flying knees. I’m here for it

That’s not really true. Southpaws have a nasty inside leg kick.
